In life, we often encounter people who touch our hearts in ways we can’t explain. For TunDe, a chance encounter with a stranger in the rain would set off a chain of events that would change her life forever.
TunDe, Judy, and Phil formed a close bond during a trying time in their lives. TunDe shared her dream of going to nursing school but also expressed her financial difficulties. The couple became so fond of TunDe that they introduced her to their family, including Chris and Carmen.
During a family gathering, TunDe shared the story of the man who helped her when she was stranded in the rain three years ago. To everyone’s surprise, Wright turned to tell TunDe that he was that person.
“The encounter that had blessed them both three years ago, came full-circle,” Carmen shared with CBS. “We don’t believe in coincidence. We’re a family of faith.”
Chris and TunDe stayed in touch after their realization. Sadly, Judy passed away due to her chronic illness, but her legacy of compassion and selflessness continued.
At Judy’s reception, instead of traditional flower arrangements, the Wright family asked guests to donate funds to TunDe’s outstanding student loans. This act of kindness would enable TunDe to continue her dream of going to nursing school and give her a chance at a better life.
Today, TunDe is spreading kindness and compassion to others as a home health care mentor, speaker, and actress. She is recognized for her commitment to always caring for other people. Her name even means “mother who has come back,” fitting for someone who is making a huge impact on the world.
In life, we often cross paths with strangers who become lifelong friends. TunDe’s chance encounter with Wright not only changed her life but also the lives of those around her. The kindness and generosity of the Wright family have left a lasting impact on TunDe and taught us all the importance of giving back to those in need.
